UCL SECReT PhD Training

UCL SECReT is the £17m international Security Science Doctoral Research Training Centre for PhD training in security and crime science based at University College London, the first centre of its kind in Europe. The Centre offers the most comprehensive integrated PhD programme for students wishing to pursue multidisciplinary security or crime-related research degrees. UCL SECReT brings together over 30 research groups at UCL and 50 partners from industry, academia and government including the Home Office, Met Police, BT, Thales and BAE Systems.

Vision

Crime and
terrorism are constantly evolving threats. National infrastructures such as
transport, power and communications need to remain protected, and identity
theft and credit card fraud continue to have a devastating impact on everyday
life. UCL SECReT will produce the next generation of security scientists who
will be ready for these challenges.

Professor Richard Wortley

“UCL’s
Security Science DTC will train and shape a generation of thought leaders in
integrated and socially sensitive security; this will encompass not only future
academics but also the policy makers and industrialists with whom they interact
during and after their training. We aim to transform the way security is done.”
